The following poem is a clue to my avatar.

I cannot enter the new competition because the poem has been published before. Nothing was correctly identified from the poem then. However, folks on this site could well have read the explanation and know what the poem is about. I suppose the avatar gives it away, really; I am sure you would find it difficult without the avatar though. A full explanation will be supplied if requested.

Rkjames - October 9, 2014Excellent. That is how we feel when we are apart. You gat a sound mind

Phaedrus - April 15, 2013Hello, EL. Thank you for your comments. You're absolutely right. Perhaps another case of not being able to see the wood for the trees? So I'll omit the final line; but this being a 'crie de coeur' I think I'll retain the final 'please'.
Thank you again.
Regards,
Phaedrus.

English Lad - April 15, 2013Gosh, Phaedrus. It's taken me a while to get to this, but I am really moved. Excellent poem!
The only thing I might suggest is dropping the last two lines, or maybe just the last line; I think they cut the impact just a little bit.
